Vaughan's High=Orade Fertilizers 



OUR POLICY for the many years during which we have handled Fertilizers has been to 

 supply only the highest grades in each class, omitting cheap and doudtful quali- 

 ties and stocks into which low grade fillers have been worked for the sake of 

 cheapening the price. Prices on Fertilizers are net cash. 



Customers ordering Fertilizers of us can depend on receiving the best grade obtainable.

BONE MEAL, Vaughan's Rose Grower 



A special brand we have put up for our 

 trade. Free from acid and a superb article. 

 Made from bone accumulated in large slaughter 

 houses, and should not be compared with Bone 

 Meal made from cattle heads and feet gathered 

 on the western prairies. Our "Rose Grower" 

 Bone has been slightly steamed to soften it so 

 it can be gromid fine, and is thus quicker in 

 its action, and can be more evenly distributed 

 through the soil. Analysis — Ammonia to 

 to bYz per cent.; total phosphoric acid, 22 to 25 

 per cent; total bone phosphate, 48 to 54 per cent.
